American Idol Season 8-Disco Results Live Blog

It is a shame two American Idol performers must go home tonight. Last night’s Disco Music performances were exceptional and made for the best show of American Idol Season 8 (see our Disco Performances Live Blog).

Kris Allen and Allison Iraheta shined and Adam Lambert fell just a little short. Danny Gokey needs to pick-up his game and Matt Giraud made a strong case for the Top5. Lil Rounds was treated unfairly by the judges and Anoop Desai was bland as usual. I think we will see a shocker in the Bottom 3 tonight (see our Disco Performance Reviews).

We are covering the Christian music artists performing in American Idol Season 8. We started with ten in the Top 36, then their were six in the Top 13 and they all made it into the Top 10. We now have four Christian music artists in American Idol’s Season 8 Top 7. Kris Allen, Danny Gokey, Matt Giraud and Lil Rounds all performed last night and I fear could lose two of them tonight.

However, this is no time to fret. Let’s just see what America had to say. David Archuleta will perform with K.C., Thelma Houston and Freda Payne ( a favorite!) will perform us some disco. Don’t forget that Paula Abdul choreographed the group number. Let’s go!

This Is American Idol!

Did he just say there were 45 million votes? Wow you guys are invested in American Idol Season 8.

We got to watch video of Paula teaching a dance class and she worked them out. She is one tough cookie. I don’t think she cried once, but could they understand what she was talking about? Let’s see how it worked out. Sporting some creepy sunglasses they are working Paula moves to The Jackson’s “Shack You Body”. Lil Rounds and Matt Giraud can dance, the others not so much. That was fun. Good job, Paula!

Time to start the results but the girls are slow changing their dancing shoes, so Ryan shows another Ford video, enough said.

Everybody is on the couch so time to find a Bottom 3. Lil Rounds is first up? She is in the Bottom 3 and she looks crushed. They reveal that she has been voted off? That was weird. I thought they would save all of this for the end. Good farewell performance. She worked it out. Randy is right this is just the beginning for her. Simon remains a massive fan. We will see Lil Rounds again.

Time for the disco medley with K.C., Thelma Houston and Freda Payne. Call me silly, I love “Band of Gold”, but who is that lady who can’t sing? She is ruining my childhood memories. Disappointed!! Thelma Houston singing “Don’t Leave Me This Way”. Is this really that hard? The American Idol performers make this look relatively easy. K.C. please make it happen. He has virtually no voice left but he was never a great singer, we will just boogie with the back-up singers.

Now down to nail biting time. Is it Matt and Anoop in the bottom 3 or will one of the favorites be in danger.

Up next Kris Allen and he is safe. Of course, he is. Adam Lambert is safe. Danny Gokey on the hot seat now. Simon shuts down Ryan. Danny Gokey is safe. I am glad I was wrong. Anoop Desai has to be in the Bottom 3 and he is. Allison Iraheta or Matt Giraud, it must be Matt again. That was Matt’s arrangement last night. Matt is safe. Allison is in the bottom 3. This is a travesty!

Three of the Top 6 are Christian music performers. Yeah!

It is Archie time, everybody scream! David Archuleta is singing his new song “Touch My Hand”. I like this less than any of his Americna Idol Season 7 performances and that is hard to say. I am not an Archilite.

Should the judges have saved the “save”? After America voted Anoop Desai. It was time. This guy can sing but he has no star power.

I am sad to see Lil Rounds go home but I think we got it right tonight. American Idol Season 8 is really talent filled and this was the right time for these two to ext. They will have good careers in music.

At this point it’s always sad to see any of the kids go, but I think those were probably the right choices. Like you, I’m jazzed that three of the top 5 are Christians…and my beloved Danny is safe again! I hope he does what everybody wants him to do and changes things up a little next time. (Although if it was up to me, I wouldn’t care…he could sing Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance and I’d be fine with it. Hey, like the way I changed that saying from the proverbial “phone book”?:) )

By the way, Chuck, I’m pretty sure David Archuleta fans are called “Archangels.”
